ABSTRACT Gastric peroral endoscopic tunneled stricturotomy (G‐POETS) has emerged as a novel procedure to treat post‐sleeve gastrectomy stenosis. We present a case series highlighting the use of G‐POETS to treat sleeve stenosis. Clinical success was assessed using the Dakkak‐Bennett Dysphagia Score and the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index.

ABSTRACT Introduction Achalasia causes significant distress and quality‐of‐life impairment to patients. Several options exist for the treatment of achalasia including endoscopic [intra‐sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, pneumatic dilation, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)], and surgical techniques such as Heller Myotomy.

ABSTRACT Backgrounds and Aims Esophageal achalasia is typically defined by impaired lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation. In rare cases, complete circumferential visibility of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and upper gastric folds (GFs) is seen endoscopically, suggesting functional obstruction may extend to the distal esophagogastric junction

Pediatric patients underwent pyloric functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) for refractory upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Unlike prior adult studies, pyloric distensibility did not correlate to gastric emptying, and patients with higher distensibility more frequently responded to botulinum toxin. The presence of a distensibility plateau enhanced the
